What kind of person would I be if I didn't live out the recommendations that I suggested on this blog? Not a good one.

Yesterday I went on the Election-day-free-circuit tour around Potomac, MD. My family and I voted at around 3PM. We then hit up Cabin John Mall--where we killed 3 birds with one stone. With the "Yo Vote" sticker in hand, we got our free coffee from Starbucks. Juiced up on the coffee, we sprinted over to California Tortilla--where we not only got a free taco, but also received a coupon for another free taco. Ezra Weinblatt, my brother, and I enjoyed those tacos and then hit up Dunkin Donuts for our final campaign spot of the day. I then went back to Crooked Monkey and purchased a couple of new t-shirts from the warehouse, at a highly discounted rate.

The picture shows us satiated on free goods and prideful of the wonderful, robust democracy we live in.

In a previous blog post, I wrote about how Mccain endorsed Crooked Monkey's Funny T-shirts. Well it looks like Obama saw what kind of effect that had on his campaign, and chose to follow suit. Endorsing Crooked Monkey for president of Funny t-shirt world has tremendous advantages for presidential candidates. You rub our booty, we'll rub yours.

Kudos to Barack Obama for pulling out a last second vote for funny t-shirts around the globe. Last night, without forewarning our staff or giving any indication as such, Barack Obama told the public he believed in Crooked Monkey. He said "Make your voice heard." It seems like the presidential candidate had been perusing our website quite a bunch in the last couple of days and decided to quote one of our trademark t-shirts.

Well Barack Obama, we appreciate the shoutout. Don't think it won't go unnoticed on election day.

This is a pretty big election. Tomorrow we elect the new leader of our country at a pivotal time. I don't envy the next president, as he will have to deal with a deteriorating economy, global warming, and a nuclear Iran. It's not a position I would seek, and I do question their judgment for running in this election.

But hopefully one of these candidates for president will turn our country around. We're not endorsing any candidates, but we are encouraging voting. If you vote tomorrow, email us and we'll give you 25% of your t-shirt order. Just email us and say "I voted." And we'll send you a promo code.

Here are some other promotions that cool companies that care about our world are running:
California Tortilla: Local to Washington DC, they are giving out free tacos if you have the "I voted" sticker
Starbucks: An up and coming National chain of coffee beans is giving out free coffee
Ben and Jerry's: The coolest and most socially conscious entrepreneurs are giving out free ice cream.

If I was you, here's how I'd hit for the cycle. Wake up. Vote early (and often). Swing by Starbucks for your morning fix. Then hit up California Tortilla for lunch, and top it off with Ben and Jerry's. Then when you're bored at work, check out our funny t-shirts and grab that t-shirt you've been wanting to buy yourself or your friend at a highly discounted rate!

The best thing about this blog post is that it was inspired by Noam Weinblatt, my brother. He's driving all the way home from college to Make a Difference and wanted to make sure that I give a shout out to voting and all those great companies encouraging it.

Well not really. But if you recall in my last post about the debates, I stated that I would not support a president unless he supported Funny T-shirts. In some, weird backhanded way, McCain gave a shout out to funny t-shirts around the world. And so Crooked Monkey is now throwing its support behind Presidential candidate John McCain.

He didn't really give us the thumbs up, but at least he recognized and acknowledged the hard work we've done to produce inapporiate t-shirts. McCain said "In fact, some T-shirts that are very...unacceptable." People have been saying that for years, and I'm glad McCain had the guts to bring it out in public. Sure he's not going to be liked for it, but at least hes bringing the real issues of this election to the forefront.

And as a representative of Crooked Monkey, am I mad that he called our shirts unacceptable? Not in the least. It was an honor and a privilege to hear him talk about t-shirts during a limited, 90 minute debate. Way to speak to the people!

In the grand Crooked Monkey traditions of creating funny t-shirts inspired by Sex-retarys, Hot Teachers, and Sexy Librarians (Headmaster, I Hooked Up with My TA) as well as Political Shirts (everything from One Voice One Love One Vote to Pro Choice: Blondes or Brunettes to I'm Not a Governor or the bold anti-war statement: End the Thumb War) comes a cutting edge, straight-up observation about the sexiest new addition to the Political World :

Sarah Palin. (in 1984 and in 2008)


Our new V.I.L.F. shirt (Vice President I'd Like to Fuck) tells it like it is.

Show your support for the McCain-Palin Ticket through the finest form of flattery: A Crooked Monkey funny t-shirt. What better way to let somebody know you want to vote for them and/or have sex with them than expressing it with a soft, vintage tee?

Regardless of your political affiliation, one thing is certain: A Change is Gonna Come. Whether that change comes in the form of groundbreaking new policy improvements or just having a hot piece of Eye Candy to watch on C-Span...... only time will tell.

Crooked Monkey is inspired often, but once in a while something comes along that makes us all stop what we're doing, gather round the computer, and really watch a YouTube video. This happened today with the "Where the Hell is Matt?" video. If you haven't seen it, we recommend you watch it here.

A crooked monkey is also a caring monkey. As citizens not just of the United States but also citizens of the world, we hope you take issues like global warming and the upcoming election seriously. Our small departure from funny t shirts to focus on more pressing matters has resulted in shirts like "A Change is Gonna Come Election T-shirt" "Make a Difference Election T-shirt" "One Voice One Love One Vote Political t-shirt" and "Make Your Voice Heard Political T-shirt". We hope you enjoy these election shirts as much as we do.
